Job DescriptionJob Description

We’re representing a family-owned, 100% privately held metals company that is investing heavily in growth and modernization. With over $10M invested in capital improvement over the past four years, this company is on the rise—and now looking for a customer-focused Inside Sales / Estimator / Project Manager to support their expanding business.

This hybrid role will support both value-added fabrication (90% of revenue) and distribution (10%), working directly with customers to deliver accurate quotes, manage project execution, and ensure exceptional service throughout.

Position Overview:

The Estimator / Project Manager will be the primary internal point of contact for a portfolio of customers—handling estimating, project tracking, and proactive communication from quote through delivery. This person must be personable, service-oriented, and comfortable with technical estimating, ERP systems, and a fast-moving job shop environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Act as a trusted liaison between customers and internal teams, ensuring clear communication and timely updates.

• Review blueprints, drawings, and specs to prepare detailed cost estimates using ERP (Global Shop Solutions).

• Manage ongoing jobs from initial quote through production and final delivery—keeping customer satisfaction at the forefront.

• Support outside sales by helping qualify and service new accounts.

• Promote cross-selling of fabrication and distribution services.

• Resolve issues quickly and professionally; customers should want to call you with questions.

What We're Looking For:

• 2+ years of experience in estimating, inside sales, or project management—preferably in metals, fabrication, or manufacturing.

• Excellent interpersonal skills; chemistry and likability matter as much as technical ability.

• Familiarity with ERP systems and the ability to read blueprints/specs.

• Strong time management and organizational skills.

• A positive, team-first attitude and a desire to contribute to a growing operation.

Compensation:

• Base Salary: $75,000 – $90,000

• On-Target Earnings: $100K+ for an average performer

• Full benefits included

Why Join?

• Family-owned and values-driven culture

• Over $10–12M reinvested in equipment and growth in the last 4 years

• Strong leadership, collaborative team, and a company where you’ll be known and appreciated

• A place where chemistry matters—people like working together here
